The driver of the vehicle identified herself to the Deputy Sheriff as Stacey L. Holly with a birth date in 1986, however during the roadside investigation the Deputy determined that the driver was actually 33-year-old Jenna R. Holly from Angelica, NY.

Also during the roadside investigation, the Deputy Sheriff saw signs of drug activity in plain view in the vehicle. The Deputy allegedly found that the driver and two passengers in the vehicle were in possession of crack cocaine.

Treusdell

One of the passengers identified himself as Lee D. Treusdell with a date of birth in 1982. It was determined that he lied about his identity as well. His actual identity was 37-year-old Brian J. Treusdell from Belfast, NY. It is alleged that Treusdell lied about his identity because he had an active warrant for a traffic offense out of Allegany County. It was also found that Treusdell was in possession of a hypodermic needle. The other passenger in the vehicle was identified as 31-year-old Ashley M. Coen from Angelica, NY. She was charged with possession of crack cocaine.

Holly, Treusdell, and Coen were turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for processing and pre-arraignment detention.

It is also alleged that while Holly was being transported to the jail, she hid a crack cocaine smoking pipe in the rear seat of the patrol car. This led to Holly receiving an additional charge of felony Tampering with Physical Evidence in the 2nd degree.

The District Attorney’s Office was contactedregarding Holly’s bail due to the felony level charge and recommended $2,000 cash or $4,000 bond.

All three were later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LC-CAP) at the Livingston County Jail before Town of West Sparta Justice Sue Mahaney.
